I've come across quite a number of these statements and my Gawd, do they sound so irritating?! Disgusting actually. Some clients just dont understand that coming up with a design project on its own is a shitload of thinking. No p tho. God bless our hustle

Lol… no lies man

also dey would say can you design anoda one?

you left out
1. But the previous designer did not do it like this
2. I dont know how to describe the concept and I am not good at sketching
3. Please edit it using this software
(also unnecessary questions lik...)
1. How did you do that?
2. Why did you do that?

the list goes on....

11, 12 and 14;grrrr

So what are we supposed to do with this info? Stop voicing our thoughts to them?

FUNNY ENOUGH,I DON'T UNDERSTAND THIS THREAD,BUT I JUST FELT LIKE COMMENTING,SO INSTEAD OF QUOTING AND INSULTING ME,Y NOT LECTURE ME?

Nice post... Its so annoying most especially coming out from someone who cannot even handle a mouse.

No: something ,
This one is remarkably painful, especially with the present light situation in Naija.

*Why are you charging so high, is it not NEPA light you are using ?

I dont see anything wrong with most of the question. Do you want your customer to drop the work for you without uttering a word? Anybody that hate these words is not a good graphics designer.

I love this, funny....

*speechless*

Please is this a front page ?

In other words,don't say anything.

aw can i screw my opportunity to b on fp. @last!

Somebody is mixing up Graphic Designers and Wed Designers here.
They are not necessarily the same.

This should be "15 Phrases Webmasters Hate". Not Graphic Designers...@OP, are you a learner?

hmmm world of graphics, iam2sexy in GraphiX-D, I can Design whole of world with just CORELDRAW, am waiting my oga here.

hi

Those are for WEB DESIGNERS or PROGRAMMERS and NOT graphic designers.

So hoow then does one communicate what one wants to the designer?

"I have a simple project or just do something this easy for me."
Of it were that easy, there won;t be any need for the web designer actually.
Some of the questions are just normal as regards B2B dealings, No Hard feelings.

Nice write up.. And true too

true, but i try to see things frm the customer's point of view. take off these questions and there will be little left for customers to say

Some people could be so annoying. ...but people should not be afraid of challenges, it brings out the best.

Tell the Graphic designers that whoever pays the piper dictates the tune.
